Subject: Online Game Ideas

Hey guys. I'm gonna throw out some ideas and would like to get comments back from everyone.

I think that all of us should start doing something to the following effect:

If Vince is describing something that takes several sentences, usually he is in the middle of typing, already has one or two lines up and we start interrupting him with questions. The problem is, we don't know he's not finished describing yet. In this case, I propose that Vince type in something like "describing" and hit enter. Then, he types in all of his description a sentence or two at a time with enters between. When he's finished, he types done. THEN, we can ask questions.

When we're doing a lot of dialogue, we should do the same thing. something like: typingblah blah blah.

I know that in the past I've been typing a long winded comment from Phaidon and everyone started making sure I was still there. :)

So basically, we need to designate when we're typing long replies or descriptions so that everyone knows what's going on and the game flows more smoothly and quickly.

Hopefully this will alleviate some of those painfully long delays. Interruptions happen and it only takes 1 second to type brb and hit enter, unless it's an extreme emergency. :)

Any other suggestions?
